Now go and stuff your Turkey, pull your cracker, if you still can, and enjoy the season.
Next year has to be an improvement on the last two, boosters will see to that we are assured here in Oz.
And one last thing, no going to sleep before midnight on the 31st, said to be dad luck if you do.

Re: harmony
Harmony is when 2 minds think alike, I asked the wife what she wanted for Xmas and she said slippers, she asked me what I wanted and I said slippers , so we decided to go out tomorrow and buy each other’s slippers and try them on to make sure they are comfortable and then wrap them up in fancy paper. Come the January sales we’ll go out and buy what we really want. JS

Hmm. Hope the white sheet comment didn't suggest you were a budding apprentice to the local Klan.

Re: harmony
One noticeable missing this year.
Hardly any Christmas carols or songs on the radio or in shopping centers.
On previous years we would begin to hear them in mid November, most likely the WOKE have got to them.
Happy daze John in Oz.
